Movie Piracy Dogs StrikeAgain!

August 4, 2007

Who calls August the &;dog days&; of summer?  Flo and Lucky, the black labs of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), have struck again! Working undercover in Malaysia, &;the world&;s first dogs trained to sniff optical disks&; snagged illegal copies of Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman-3, Transformers, The Simpsons Movie, and Hot Fuzz (apparently a much bigger hit in Southeast Asia than here.) They helped local law enforcement seize DVD replicators capable of cranking out 10 million pirated DVDs a year.  Four pirates were also detained. &;They were able to mask the true nature of their operations by masquerading as a factory producing fertilizers. 300 sacks of fertilizer were piled outside the premises in an attempt to camouflage their illegal activities. They were however unable to fool the dogs.&; Yes, something smells here.  But it&;s not those gleaming black Labs.
